    Cheap beer costs about 3e/liter. All the mass brand lagers taste the same, like piss. Lapin Kulta is the closest to a real pilsener. I would go for Olvi IPA, proper beer, bang for a buck (or two)

    Some yes, but cheapest brands are less than 1€/can. With 2€ you get good beer, with 3€ excellent. Both Carlberg and Heineken are cheap brands in Finland.
    If you come with car, bring beer, Finns will buy all extra away...

    being from a country where alcoholism is almost a national sport and referring to that bubbling piss as beer is an insult...

    they are lagers... nothing to do with beers.

    Most of they were lagers, but now when limit is 5.5% what you can sell/buy at normal stores/gas-stations things have changed, IPA, APA, Weiss, Dark..
    Nearly everyone can find something to drink.
    I´m pisshead so I can drink lager also.

    Hayden Paddon's averaged 122.66 kph in winning Rally South Canterbury the latest round of the NZ Rally Championship. Only 6 WRC events have ever had a faster average speed, those 6 events were all Rally Finland

    NZ roads allow for superb high speed, flowing driving, especially in the south island! I hope with this expanding calendar that we might see a flicker of hope to see it back here in NZ again. Rallying in Japan would be disappointing as I went to WRC Rally Japan and the roads were crap. The spectator areas were far and few between, and despite Hokkaido being big and expansive (looking a lot like NZ) they chose the worst roads possible to run as special stages. As spectators we saw next to nothing because the stages were so narrow you weren't allowed to walk in at all!

    Old Safari rallies were timed to the minute, if at the end of a section you are close to the next minute, you pass the time card to the driver, he hands it to the catcher, when the catcher has it, he shouts TIME, and the timekeeper stops the clock. That’s what is in this picture!

    I saw some Japanese National Championship thing in the winter and all you say was the roof--occasionally..
    I saw summer coverage and the roads were NARROW...and the woods were lush, overgrown..

    Then again I have heard many MANY "fan-boi" fans--invariably guys whose entire experience is via TV and games say "You don't really need specators, its ALL aboout the TV package.."

    I want to shoot them but there's some chance that somebody might notice they had large holes in their heads..
    Then again, maybe not.
    But others might certainly noticed that they stopped tweeting and updating their Pacefook status and i might get arrested.
